Capsiplex
Thanks to a great marketing team Capsiplex has become a fad in the dieting world overnight. First hitting the U.K. it is now the newest trend here in the U.S. when it comes to diet pills. It’s active ingredient is none other than capricum, or the red pepper. Claiming to have harnessed the capricum extract to help lose those unwanted pounds.
Does It Work?
Thanks to the knowledge of our ancestries overseas and here in the Americas we know capsaicin, the active ingredient in Capsicum or peppers, holds a number of powers. We have tired for years to harness them and in modern medicines we use capsaicin mainly in topical medications-as a circulatory stimulant and an analgesic. Among the powers of capsaicin folklore has claimed that it will aid in weight-loss. After over 30 years of studies researchers have now confirmed that myth. Peppers contain substances that have been shown to increase the body’s heat production and oxygen consumption for about 20 mintues after eating. So yes, this component has been shown to help people shed extra calories.
Is It Safe?
Peppers shows true potential in being a great additive to a healthy diet of fruits and vegetables. However, to even get a chance to see the weight-loss results of peppers would take months of consuming at least 10 grams of hot peppers everyday. So please, with no further delay they have put the extract into a pill. The more the better right?
The problem with a concentrated amount would be that capsaisin is an irritant to mammals, including humans as it produces a burning sensation to any tissue it come in contact with. In fact, painful exposures to capsaicin containing peppers are among the most common plant-related exposures presented to poison control centers. Also, it is suggested to not ingested in large quantities by adults or small amounts by children as it can induce nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and burning diarrhea.
In order to avoid the intestinal or oral irritations the company have coated the pills to release the extract in the intestine instead of the stomach. Since the intestine has a higher PH level there should not be any discomfort.
Our Suggestions
- Like any diet, if you have health issues consult with your physician before beginning, or in taking supplements which includes herbs and spices. Just because it’s 100% natural doesn’t mean it can’t harm you.
- Do not crash diet! To lose any real weight with or without the help of supplements you must eat healthy and exercise regularly no matter what the miracle pill says.
- Do your research. Know what you are putting in your body. Know your body. Just because it worked for someone else doesn’t mean it is going to work the same on you.
